UPDATE: In the last 24 hours, North Carolina stepped up with a strong push to keep pitching coach Robert Woodard. He has changed his mind and will remain at UNC, his alma mater. He had yet to sign a contract with Rangers, who now need to look elsewhere for a pitching coordinator. https://t.co/ij3NFCw0ac

Iowa’s Adams: The Baker Of Bombs

That’s the nickname – props to FoulPoleSports – for Adams’ home runs, and he has hit 24 of them so far, breaking a school single-season record that had lasted 31 years.

The 21-year-old Adams leads Iowa (34-19) in batting average (.344), RBIs (65) and slugging percentage (.750) as the Hawkeyes prepare to open the Big Ten tournament on Wednesday vs. Maryland at Bloomington, Ind. He trails national leader Ben Fisher by one homer, but he is averaging 0.45 homers per game, more than anyone else in Division I.
